A/V Geeks Present: Your Job Wants to K*ll You

Cautionary tales from the golden age of workplace safety films
YOUR JOB WANTS TO K*ll YOU! is a safety-film program from the A/V Geeks Archive about the terrifying bargain of modern employment: you show up, dodge the machinery, avoid the chemicals, survive the falling objects, and – if all goes well – receive a paycheck as a small reward for making it through the last pay period alive.
Made to reduce workplace accidents, these 16mm films instead reveal a grimly funny truth: work is basically a series of hazards with a time clock attached. Forklifts lurk. Tools betray. Ladders lie. Floors become traps. Co-workers make “one little mistake,” and suddenly the narrator is explaining what went wrong over a shot of a mangled lunchbox. Equal parts cautionary, absurd, and unsettling, YOUR JOB WANTS TO K*ll YOU! turns industrial safety cinema into a dark comedy about labor, risk, and the everyday miracle of not being crushed, burned, poisoned, electrocuted, or emotionally destroyed before quitting time.
